I thought I would place this in a flower bed, but it was too small and got lost. It was fine for a large planter on the pool deck, however. I'm not sure how easy this will be to store over the winter as this is the first season I've had it, but it is very cute and worth the effort to find a solution to the winter storage question.

This product is very cute & I have it in my garden. The problem I have is the 2 poles Won ' t stay together very tight, so if we have a heavy wind I'm sure they will come apart. I tried gluing them but that didn't work. Terri

Merchant response: We contacted the customer to see how we can correct the issue with her snail stake.
